Tutu, just look to the north of us, you'll see many former liberation movements who milked the liberal sympathies of Western Nations for their own devious ends. The ANC just continues this, may I say African tradition, regardless of their sickening rhetoric. Years later these ex-liberation movements reveal their true colours, and will side with oppressors to achieve their own selfish aims. "What human rights? That's just a swear word for being anti-revolutionary...." As we all know, the wheel does turn, albeit very slowly.

even tokyo doesent have the b***s to admit that the ancis deep in the pocket of the chineese. He is looking after future contracts for his conglomerates and doesnt want to rock the boat. The whole govt is looking to protect their “brown envelopes”. Anyone with double didget brain cells is aware of what is happening, unfortunately it doesnt include the majority of the voters!

I fully support the Archbishop Emeritus on this issue. I too feel betrayed by our government – shame on them for kowtowing to the Chinese government and its demands. And shame on them for not being brave and honest enough to admit to it.

Looking at all these comments made by Mr Tutu, makes me really wonder if this is not a matter of old age or perhaps someone who has assumed a supreme role upon all South Africans. Have you asked the ordinary South african of all walks of life what they think about Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu? Please do before you start throwing your weight and bullying people into doing what you like. The Dalai Lama is honoured elsewhere and certainly not here, he is a celebrity where he accepted as one. Visa applications go through a process and I dont think the process should be shortened because Mr Tutu's friend is in town. I know of a co-worker who's nephew tragically passed away in the UK and he will only get his Visa in 21 days(He is not South African), this is a British process, South Africa also has a process to follow. If the South African Government feels it is in the best interest of the country and its investments not to allow the Dalai Lama entry so be it, the duty of our government is for the well being of it's citizens. I would fully support the Government even if it stalled the application process by asking for irrelevant information such as shoe and shirt size. Mr Tutu is starting to show signs of dictatorship, its my way or no way. You cannot liken South Africa to Libya and Egypt, South Africa holds free and fair elections and all leaders are elected democratically. The South African president was elected by the people of South Africa and not you. You need to get of that high horse. This has become more of a religious battle than anything else, this is why religion should never be allowed in politics because there are many religions. South Africans are South Africans because they earned their independence be it black or white. Your comments are consistent of a hypocrite, praying for someones demise?? True heroes are Mahatman Ghadhi, going through this man's history you can see a remarkable man of courage and strength, not superstar Dalai Lamas!! Dont spoil the reputation you have built for yourself over the years through your reckless or arrogant speaches, if you dont have anything to say rather keep quiet, retire peacefully and stop threatening people.

Tutu voted for the ANC and even encouraged others to do so....funny how they dont represent him now because he cant get what the rest of them get done so easily....case of sour grapes!

Um, Tokyo Sexwale, why are you now so vociferous? You had nothing to say 2 weeks ago? And now you are just making more noise than it's worth. You are not the center of attention in this matter as much as you may _think_ you are.

Well done Archbishop Tutu for being vocal in your disgust with the behavior of the SA officials. They have disgraced you internationally on the eve of your 80th birthday. I believe your reaction was one of total shock that they could stoop so low. We will join you in praying that our leaders will be convicted in what they are doing...the country's people all depend on them for a better life and it is still in the making after SO many years, yet there is all this money available for "job creation" Hope you are still able to enjoy your birthday Archbishop, God bless you.

ANC you are disgrace. I am voting now for Lindiwe, Mmusi and the Madam. I am voting for the DA.

The whole thing is a PR stunt

Sexwale is a shameless kiss-a**. He is well aware of the backlash that is likely to follow at the polls. Nobody disses the Arch and gets away with it!

Tokyo, you are throwing your name away like your Protégé mamparalema again today. Twice in one day is a record for you.

Yes Tutu, what goes around comes around. Hopefully you will also look at your utterances against South Africans a few weeks back and reflect on what it is like to be singled out for hate and condemnation. Learn from this Tutu. Learn from this now or you never will.

the anc govt has been betraying the people for 17 years...sexwale is only trying to brown nose tutu, what kind of prayers does sexwale offer....is he even a Christian or belong long to a religion that prays? if is then he should resign from govt right away because a practicing Christian cannot reconcile himself with the practices of the anc govt.
